Question
if a guinnie pig gets to hot what can be done for him.I took him out of his cage wrapped a cool not cold cloth around him and got him to drink some cool water.I let him cool down some thin put a lite fan on him. he is moving around alittle and drinking water but that is about it.is there anything else that can be done?

Answer
Hi Norma

This is what to do
On Hot days
Freeze a water bottle or freeze something that the Guinea Pig can lean on and be cooling for him.
Also if it is hot then bring him inside and put the fan on but make sure he doesnt get a chill

Good Luck
All the best
